TOPIM is the annual Winter Conference of the European Society for Molecular Imaging. TOPIM stands for “hot TOPics in molecular IMaging”. As in previous years, our effort is to concentrate on one aspect at the forefront of Molecular Imaging, a hot topic. Since 2007, TOPIM is an annual event aiming at covering an exciting aspect of application or technique of molecular imaging every year, chosen according to its pertinence and timeliness.
The hot topic 2013:
IMAGING the HALLMARKS of CANCER ABSTRACTS now available
Looking back at the hot topics of the previous years:
2012: PROCESSING BIOMEDICAL IMAGES: Visualization, Modelling, Segmentation, Quantification, Registration
2011: Emerging Imaging Methods in Medicine
2010: Imaging and Systems Biology
2009: Dual and Innovative Imaging Modalities
2008: Imaging in Nano Objects
2007: Imaging in Neurodegeneration and Neuroinflammation
TOPIM aims at bringing scientists from various fields together and providing a “think tank” to foster new ideas and inter-disciplinary cross connections through discussions between participants. By combining expert descriptions of the most up-to-date imaging technologies and/or applications TOPIM contributes in collectively describing the imaging approaches, categorizing them and drawing the landscape of in vivo imaging applied to a specific scientific issue.
“Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye" wrote Francois de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)
"The scientific level of the talks - also of some young researchers was great, I enjoyed the conference a lot and it has been an honour to be able to participate. The programme set-up has been fantastic [...]."
